I Have Found the Easiest Way to Take Your Child's Temperature! Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway!

If you have ever had a sick child (who hasn't?) then you know that taking their temperature can be a task in itself. I know that my Danika hates having her temperature taken and is such a squirmy wiggle worm it is hard to obtain one. When we went to Danika's clinic visits they had a great TemporalScanner they just swiped across her forehead and took her temp. It was over before she knew what was happening. Well I have great news! Exergen has a TemporalScanner for all of us moms and dads to use at home! I was excited to try it out and see how easy it was to use.

The Exergen TemporalScanner works to measure the body temperature by taking a reading from the temporal artery. It is more accurate than oral, rectal, axillary (under the arm) and ear. It is also the least invasive way to take a temperature. If it is accurate enough to use in a clinical setting I trust that it is accurate enough to use in my own home!

The Exergen TemporalScanner was also very easy to use. You simply place the probe on the center of the forehead, press and hold the scan button and lightly slide the thermometer to either the left or right side and stop at the hairline. You release the button and the temperature is displayed. Pretty easy! Below is a video of me taking Danika's temperature. It is short and sweet, just like the process of using the TemporalScanner.

You can buy the Exergen TemporalScanner at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Costco, Walgreens, Sams Club, Shopper's Drug Mart and Wal Mart. You can also purchase them online at several locations. You can find a list of retailers here. There is also a special promotion here for a $5 rebate on your Temporal Scanner! The retail price varies but they are around $30, which is a great price for such an accurate, convenient thermometer.
